Master Transportation Plan Task 3: Performance Measures 4/21/25
Transportation asset preservation also emerged as a theme, indicating the importance of monitoring infrastructure conditions and ensuring the long-term reliability and resilience of the transportation system. Federal and state planning documents included measures that track infrastructure condition, such as roadway pavement and bridge condition scores and maintenance-related measures involving annual preventative maintenance. Equity serves as a guiding principle in developing transportation projects and programs. The reviewed plans widely recognize equity-related performance measures that evaluate the burdens and distribution of transportation resources across different populations. Those measures include affordability (transportation cost as a percentage of total income), access to services, and investments directed toward historically underserved communities. The Mobility 2045 Update also incorporated a measure to track the number of community participants during plan development, underscoring the importance of engaging diverse communities in the planning process to ensure all needs and priorities are reflected in the plan. Another insight from the review was the emphasis on advanced technologies and sustainability. Fort Worth’s Comprehensive Plan includes a measure to track the number of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) devices, such as smart parking management systems, to promote the use of real-time data for conducting better analysis and informing decision-making. Other plans established measures for new vehicle technology like electric vehicles (EVs), including numbers of EV registrations and charging stations. These measures are also linked to sustainability, another important aspect of transportation planning. The reviewed documents proposed sustainability measures such as carbon emission reduction and air quality to facilitate a green future and align with aspirations of creating healthier and more livable environments. Overall, the literature review provided a framework for developing performance measures contextualized for Fort Worth and aligned with the six goals of the M1M Plan. From the best practices of federal, state, regional, and city plans, the project team developed a robust set of performance measures that addresses the city’s priorities and ensures the M1M Plan supports a safe, equitable, efficient, and sustainable transportation system. Incorporating Public Input During the public engagement process, the city gathered over 1,000 responses and categorized them into four themes: • Road and Street Improvements: The need to reduce traffic congestion and improve road quality (pavement and markings). • Public Transportation: The importance of expanding rail service and improving the comfort and availability of public transit options.
